Xuande

Chapter 173 Eccentric, But Not Completely Eccentric

For a period of time after that, Liu Bei used Xu Xuan's relationship to successfully send Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun to the Northern Army's cavalry camp.

This is a central army unit specially composed of Han Chinese knights. The equipment and treatment are all first-class. If they do well, they will be able to be senior officers if they need to go out for anything in the future.

Under the premise of being taken care of by Xu Xuan, Guan Yu and the other four all served as grassroots officers in the Tunqi camp, and they could continue to "advance their studies" in the elite ranks of the Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei asked them to learn more about the classic tactics of the Han army, and not to waste this precious "advanced study period".

The two clansmen Liu Yong and Liu Sheng brought out from their hometown were also entrusted to Lu Zhi by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hopes that Lu Zhi can appoint them to handle affairs in Jizhou pastor, or to suppress riots, crusade against bandits, etc., so that they can accumulate experience in leading troops to fight.

Lu Zhi, who lacked trusted subordinates, readily agreed to use Liu Bei's team as his own. There is nothing to avoid between the master and apprentice, and Liu Bei's subordinates are his subordinates.

The confidant Zhen Yan is still in the official position, continues to work in the Shangshutai, and continues to concentrate on being Liu Bei's dog's leg, and is proud of it and feels deeply satisfied.

There are also children from the six families of Zhao, Li, Wang, Zheng, Yin, and Han. Liu Bei told them that he has other arrangements for them, so that they can stay calm and there will be a result soon.

It turned out that no matter how radiant Liu Bei was, they always regarded Liu Bei as a junior who needed to be mentioned, and they did not regard Liu Bei as a court official like them psychologically.

He was willing to accept Dong Huang and let Dong Huang take up the position of a junior officer in the infantry battalion. The position was not high, but he could stay in Luoyang City justifiably. There were many opportunities and good remuneration.

The gap seems to be so small.

The emperor, Liu Hong, most likely took a fancy to Liu Bei's status as a clan member of the Han family, cared about him very much, and wanted to promote him.

"Xuande, I don't want to leave you behind too much. I want to work with Lu Gong and train myself, instead of wasting my time in vain. You are already a member of the top group of people in the world, and I... Much worse."

This one-hand operation is indeed quite standard, not only the bigwigs of the ancient literature school think so, but also the bigwigs of the modern literature school.

So Lu Zhi nodded and agreed to Liu Bei's request.

Dong Huang was very excited about this and was very grateful to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and he is a relative of the Han family. I am afraid that this factor cannot be simply ignored.

The clan members of the Han Dynasty couldn't eat when Liu Bei was down and down.

So through Xu Xuan's relationship, Liu Bei met Chen Qi, the captain of the infantry battalion, and invited him to have a meal and chat.

What is this called?
This is called eccentricity, but it is not completely eccentric.

It was not until the day before Lu Zhi's departure that news came from the palace that Liu Bei had been appointed as the servant of Shangshu and Zuo Cheng.

But it is different now.

Lu Zhi was both happy and worried about this, while other bigwigs of the ancient literature school had a different view of Liu Bei.

But at that time, there was still no movement on Liu Bei himself, except for a title, there seemed to be nothing.

And what about him?
He is still a fresh graduate who can barely be regarded as a fresh graduate.

He suddenly realized that what he had been ignoring intentionally or unintentionally was that Liu Bei was different from the past, but he hadn't separated the past Liu Bei from the present Liu Bei in his heart.

Although he still loves money so much, loves extravagance so much, and the West Garden that makes money for him is still so overcrowded, but he has been to Taixue a lot recently.

There is no way for a good brother to be promoted to Xiaolian, and Liu Bei didn't want to delay his future, so he gave him two choices.

Liu Bei smiled, didn't say anything, and calmly recommended Qianzhao to Lu Zhi, and asked Lu Zhi to recruit Qianzhao as Jizhou Mu and let him be an official.

They were all punks back then, fighting together on the street and living a happy life together, nothing wrong with that, but time has changed, and now Liu Bei is already a big figure in the ancient literature school.

What does this mean?
This shows that Yanzhao is still a bit angry, at least when other people come to seek refuge with him, they are pretending to be subordinates and get ahead together, but this brother who is close to each other seems to be different.

After the news spread, the upper-level leaders of the ancient literature school expressed their surprise, because they never expected that Liu Bei could take up this position.

After this appointment was made, many people felt that Emperor Liu Hong was a bit different from the past.

The other is to stay in Luoyang City and wait for Liu Bei to recommend him to enter the official career through other ways.

"Xuande, even if this is your close friend who grew up with you, you will not treat him differently as a teacher."

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei is already aloof.

In fact, Liu Bei took over Lu Zhi's power. In the court, his position is as important as Lu Zhi's in the past, and he will gain more trust from the emperor because of his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Zhi has left, but his position as Minister of the Book is equivalent to Liu Bei's top position at present. The position is three levels lower, but there is no difference in terms of power, unless someone else fills up the other positions.

Although the emperor did not comply with the intention of the ancient literature school and let Lu Zhi stay as the Sangong, it has to be said that the emperor did not completely let the modern literature school succeed, because Lu Zhi's previous position was still taken over by Liu Bei, who was also hated by the modern literature school. up.

For the leader of a political group, this kind of ability is necessary and relatively rare, because not everyone can do a good job in the position of leader and benefit his subordinates.

The cronies who went out with him were all arranged by Liu Bei through his own relationship, and achieved great success, which proved that Liu Bei can not only be rewarded for his meritorious service, but also benefit the cronies around him.

But when Liu Bei gradually showed his talent, it could replace him in a certain sense as his stepping stone and help him ascend to the top.

This sense of anxiety prompted Zhuanzhao to choose a more direct path.

Liu Bei proved himself on this point.

After Zhen Yan explained the new face of the dispute between modern and ancient prose, Qianzhao seemed to have gained some new insights. As for why Liu Bei was able to stand out in such a situation and turn his life around, Qianzhao was obviously touched a lot, and then he was quite a bit confused. anxiety.

Liu Bei nodded with a smile: "Everything is up to the teacher's decision, and there is no need to worry about the disciples."

Who is making this decision?

One is to invite Lu Zhi, a teacher who is a pastor of Jizhou, to recruit a fellow from Jizhou to be a subordinate official, and then introduce him into an official career.

The result is that Chen Qi is willing to sell Liu Bei's face, get acquainted, and make friends.

Lu Zhi blinked at Liu Bei.

It's not difficult to guess, if you think about it a little, there is a high probability that the decision was made by Emperor Liu Hong himself.

Liu Bei saw through the anxiety beneath the calm surface of Qianzhao, and he really didn't expect that one day he would also be the cause of other people's anxiety.

As for Dong Huang, Liu Bei accepted Dong Zhuo's great favor, so of course he should treat it properly.

He would go there every few days to discuss the contents of "Zuoshi Chunqiu" and "Guwen Shangshu" with the students in the Taixue. It is said that he really did some research, not just acting.

It is natural for the emperor to study, but it is not normal to often go to Taixue.

Therefore, after Liu Bei, a key figure, was appointed to the new position, the Jinwen School immediately launched an emergency consultation meeting based on the current situation to prepare for the next period of power struggle.

Under the new political situation, they cannot tolerate the slightest hesitation.
